Why Team Spirit Manager Banned Collapse from Gym During Tournaments

Team Spirit offlaner Magomed “Collapse” Khalilov confessed that he is forbidden from visiting the gym during tournaments. The reason for this ban, according to the player, is his excessive zeal during workouts. Team manager Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov made this decision.

Collapse shared a story: “For me, the gym is off-limits at all tournaments. If I had worked out in the gym in Serbia, I could have gone to the gym at the tournament as well. But I stopped. I remember we played against Heroic at FISSURE PLAYGROUND Belgrade 2025, I played on Mars and some other hero. They defeated us decisively 0:2. After the series, Korb3n approached me and said: `You are not going anywhere else.` I was shocked: `Yes, Dima, what`s the matter?` He says: `I remember your workout yesterday, I worked out for an hour, and you spent two hours working out your forearms like crazy.` I was like: `Everything will be fine, just a normal light workout,` and he said: `If you go to the gym again, I will fine you.`”

Earlier, during a break from the competitive scene, Collapse actively took up gym workouts. However, during tournaments, he has to abandon his usual routine to focus on the game.
